Relationship is a very strong word, but like, it was Two And A Half Years of like emotional bullshit.
Ever wondered what dating looks like through the lens of Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD)? In this episode of 'Bold Beautiful Borderline', hosts Laurie Edmundson and Sara Amundson get real about their romantic escapades. From Sara's fresh dive back into the dating pool post-divorce to Laurie's long-term love with her fiancé Aaron, they lay it all out—warts and all. They don't shy away from the tough stuff either.

You'll hear about the thrill of new connections and the fulfillment that comes when using coping skills effectively. The duo also digs into some heavy topics like toxic masculinity, emotional intimacy, and how recovery can change your attraction patterns.

Through their stories, Laurie and Sara offer a blend of humor, honesty, and practical advice for anyone navigating relationships with BPD. So if you're looking for a mix of heartfelt stories and insightful discussions, this episode is a must-listen.
